Well it sounds like its been a while since all of you were there. My most recent trip was in February of 2007. The men's facilities are now completely downstairs. There is no opportunity to bump into a female patron as they are upstairs. However you will without a doubt bump into plenty of female employees in the men's locker/shower area. I have used the showers while female employees were giving body scrubs just a few feet away and I was naked at the time. The do require that a disposable "speed-o" be worn during a body scrub. The women though have no problem walking into the shower area while you are nude or coming into the steam room to get you if its time for your massage. In addition, I was completely nude during my massage while on my stomach. When I flipped over however, the girl did put a towel over my private area.

: Sounds to me like a good way to get banned. If you need it that bad, why not just go to a rub n tug girl? Plus, nobody wants to shower and step on your cream.

: \\: Yes, the female staff members sometimes walk through the men's lockerroom upstairs, but what everyone else has said is true: They are very strict about making sure that you're not naked in any common areas. I used the co-ed "igloo" sauna naked at one point, and even though there was no one else there, an attendant came in with a pair of disposable shorts and forced me to put them on. And even when they give you a body scrub, they make sure to cover your penis with a washcloth when you're on your back.

: : On the other hand, when the body scrub is done, the showers are in the same big room as the scrub table and in plain view, so you do have an opportunity to go naked while the female attendant is cleaning up the body scrub area. In fact, what with easy access to soap, there's an opportunity to lather yourself up nicely and 'finish off' the massage properly with a bit of manual release while the masseuse is still there, if that sort of thing appeals to you.

: : : i went once and they had the men's area downstairs that day (not sure why). the women who worked there walked through the locker room several times when i was there. do they do that when the men are upstairs?

: : : : Hate to disapoint, but I've been there too, and it's absolutely segregated by gender. I wasn't even able to be nude (even under a sheet) for my massage

: : : : : I have been, and there is a separate men's steam area that you can be nude in; the women's facilities are downstairs.

: : : : : There is a shared sauna on the men's level, and the attendants have always made sure I had my robe on before going in. I would use it nude, but I have only been there when no one else has... I am not sure what would happen if a woman walked in. I haven't gone in a few months, or when it's busy, so others may have a different perspective.

: : : : : The men's shower area is pretty visible from the public area on the first floor.

: : : : : hope this helps!
